25.08.23


I'm forever saying that no two weddings are the same and this one is proof of that - a proper highlight of 2023 for me personally. When Lesley & Marc first got in touch, they kept reiterating that they wanted their day to be a huge party for their friends and family. They weren't joking!


King Street Townhouse in Manchester was our base and from second one, Lesley had the champagne flowing, insisting that she wanted everyone to bring the high energy. Lesley looked incredible in here bespoke dress made by Philip Armstrong, with high leg split seam, long sleeves and beautiful detail. This paired with her elegant Jimmy Choo shoes - she really went all out!


The ceremony had so much amazing energy, with Lesley & Marc's personalities perfectly on show. Their guests watching on were a mixture of emotional wrecks and cheerleaders for them both. A short and intimate ceremony was only leading to one thing - the party!


Guests sipped beers and champagne of the rooftop overlooking the golden Manchester skyline, whilst the sun was setting. Lesley & Marc surprised their guests with making a special champagne bottle entrance and a round of special speeches from dad, best man and Lesley herself.


The party that followed the incredible food was just what Lesley & Marc wanted all along - high energy, full of surprises, a band playing all the bangers and a packed dance floor. I stayed until midnight to capture all the tequilas being consumed, the embraces of family members and the misbehaving on the dance floor. What a day!


I got to work with some insanely talented suppliers too ...
